Denise,
I'm thrilled for you! I'm gonna see what I can find on the Target site. However, I'm not a very good cook and have very few decent recipes. So when in doubt, buy 2 Lean Cuisines and follow the directions on the back of the box. That is about as gourmet as I can get. Hugs to you and your new hubby!

My hubby will bein Vegas this weekend, so I will sneak over to Target for some somethin' somethin'. AND because I love you son much, I wilklnot be sending a recipe because I never was much of a cook - I am a microwave sorta gal

Whitney even after all your going through you still have the strength to support others. I thank you so much for that. You don't have to give me a recipe you can just give me your favorite recipe to make in the microwave or even maybe a good smoothie recipe. Your support is enough for me. Thank you so much. Biggest hugs.

Congratulations on your marriage; it sounds like you snagged one heck of a guy and we all know how lucky he is to have a sweet, intelligent, wonderful and sexy gal like you!! I just got a bonus from work so I'll be shopping for a little somethin' somethin' once I get home from surgery, but in the meantime, here's my favorite chicken recipe (since you said Jason loves chicken!)

Soy Lemon Skillet Chicken

1 lb Chicken pieces (boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best)
3/4 c. water
3-4 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. lemon pepper
1 tsp. chili powder
1-2 tbsp. red pepper flakes (depending on how hot you like it!)
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil

Heat the olive oil in a pan and quickly brown the chicken pieces over high heat. Remove and drain off oil. In a separate bowl, combine water, soy sauce, and spices. Replace chicken pieces in the skillet and pour soy/spice mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 7-8 minute intervals (turn chicken over every 7-8 minutes) until fully cooked (takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken pieces). Remove the chicken from the skillet, reserving the sauce. Pour 2 tbsp of lemon juice into the reserved sauce and reduce (let the sauce thicken) over high heat. Serve the chicken with the sauce, or pour sauce over rice and veggies (or do my personal favorite: when you're ready to reduce the sauce, drop in some frozen veggies, recover the pan and cook over high heat until the veggies are cooked. They soak up the juice and taste SOOOOOOOOO good!!)

Amber I know you are off to join us on the losing side but I just had to let you know how much I appreciate your support. I can't wait to have ya as my WLS sistah. See you soon.

I just noticed there is 2 Ambers. Amber I appreciate you just coming by and posting your support. Means a lot. I so agree about the Lean Cuisine. A sista is not afraid to through some food in the microwave and go. Thank you.
